Thanks!I don't know if anyone else has a use for this tidbit, but I thought Iwould throw it out there. We are using the Vicom Internet Gateway as aproxy firewall, and the most recent version (4.5) implements multihostedrouting (it was also in previous versions, but didn't work correctly). Sonow I can have two IP addresses on the Internet mapped to two distinct IPaddresses inside my intranet, all through a single gateway. IMHO, thisrocks! The VIG can also remap distinct external IP addresses to subfolderson a single web server, effectively making your web server appearmultinoded even if it isn't.Anyway, enough ranting. I just thought this was a cool new feature.Thanks,-Dale ________________________ ___________________________| Dale LaFountain | mailto:dalel@dhorse.com || MIS Director,WebMaster | http://www.dhorse.com/ || Dark Horse Comics, Inc.| Phone: 503-652-8815 x324 |\________________________|___________________________/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
